Hi. My name is Cory. I live in phoenix az. I am getting ready to purchase a 2003 Jaguar x type. It needs a new battery. Can I put any battery in this car, or should I spring for the $200.00 battery or can I go with the cheap one?

+1 Norri. Welcome to the forums. I get my batteries at autozone. Walmart is just as good. I like being able to pull in to any store and have my warranty good.

You don't have to fit a battery from Jaguar but you do need a compatible equivalent battery:
1. same 80 Ah or higher capacity
2. same physical dimensions
3. vented

welcome to the forum - enjoy!!!

 

Hello, Cory,
I seldom worry about anything battery related (for Any car) other than;
a)Will it fit in the hole, and
b)What's the Cranking Amps rating.
If the answers are Yes, and 100+ then I buy the battery.
Never been stung with those criteria.
